The Recording Academy’s Post

That´s an important debate that as involved into the music industry we need to start talk! I hope that all positions would be taken in depth, and without taking on the account, only the big corporations concerns. As independient artist, (if such word still exist) I am a litle bit worried not about my deals or incoming earnings into the market today; I am worried about creativity, about copyrights dilemas that is creating the A.I tools. I know we have created I.A. But if this machine learning system is wining money not for the app, just making money with databases filled with our work, why do they cost money?. And if its geting paid with the contents of our work, why do not share earnings? I wish you the best of lucks! #IA #ai #copyright

🎶 How does audience participation change the concert experience? A fascinating documentary from LiveLab at McMaster University explores this very question! PhD researcher Dana Swarbrick’s experiment found that simple acts like clapping along with the music can create a powerful sense of connection between performers and the audience. As music educators, could this be a game-changer for our school concerts? By consciously including audience participation, we might not only strengthen the bond between student performers and their families but also build deeper connections with the parent community—boosting support for the incredible work we do. 🎵🙌 Read more: https://loom.ly/p1f24DA #MusicEducation #AudienceEngagement #BuildingConnections

What is advocacy in music? Advocacy in music involves using music to promote, support, and raise awareness about various causes and issues. Addressing Social and Political Issues: Musicians create songs that discuss and bring attention to topics like civil rights or environmental protection, aiming to inspire change and influence opinions. Cultural Representation: Music can help preserve and celebrate cultural traditions and languages, promoting diversity in music genres and supporting artists from different backgrounds. Education: Advocates work to ensure that music education is valued and well-supported in schools, highlighting its role in enhancing creativity and learning. Supporting Artists: Efforts include campaigning for fair treatment, proper compensation, and copyright protection for musicians. Music Therapy: Promoting the use of music as a therapeutic tool in healthcare to help address various physical and psychological conditions. ... and so much more. I was honored to speak earlier this week at the BUZZ advocacy summit in Annapolis, MD about all the ways that I personally use music to advocate for human rights: equity, mental health, self-expression, youth empowerment and so much more. Because sometimes all we need is a reminder that our voices matter. Our opinions matter. Our lives matter. Come check out more songs like this at the FIGHT THE FEAR album release show this Sunday at @earpsordinary in Fairfax, VA. Show kicks off at 5pm with @marilynhucek and @john.gossart.5 supporting.

The digital world (social media, online gaming, etc) is causing major mental health issues for children (I'd guess many adults too). Politicians talk of banning devices from schools, limiting exposure and even prohibiting access for certain age groups. A healthy alternative is what is needed. Musical Youth Foundation (CHY#18624) is providing children with access to instruments and lessons. We can't do it without your donations though so please give what you can at https://lnkd.in/eAEpSEbm Instead of letting our children waste an average of 2.1 hours a day online browsing and scrolling, let's enable them to spend 30 minutes a day or more practising a musical instrument. #MusicChangesLives #MusicEducationMatters #EducationEquality

🎶 Keys to Connection: Music for Everyone 🎶 At Foundation Music School, we recognize the immense challenges facing our young people today.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the noise of today’s challenges, we invite you to take action: Support Our Campaign: Your contributions will help us bring music therapy where it’s needed most.
